They are raising prices 10% across the board because of the tariff.

Stop with those facts, you globalists, socialist, negative nellie. Trump has got this, now shut and follow along you. Trump's assumption that we have 100's of thousands of ex steelworkers just waiting around and steel companies with billions in capital just ready to purchase equipment and ramp up production. We have neither, so what it's job training and low interest loans to the steel industry? See the slippery slope? Call me cynical but this was a political move if I ever saw one. Please save me the pieties about "What about defense capability and the ability to purchase materials?". We have enough steel making capabilities to make more than enough tanks, Humvees and artillery pieces. this is a bad move and historical data has proven without a shadow of doubt that in the long run leads to trade wars and overall raising prices of consumer durables and other goods. Petulant politics usually leads to unforeseen consequences.

So let’s see all the stats you are getting your info from as to production capabilities of Tanks, ships, aircraft etc and be sure your stats include ability to satisfy demand in time of war.

Will wait for your proof.
